The capital murder trial of Ted Burnett is going on this week, and we’re covering it live from the courtroom on Twitter.
Twitter is a micro-blogging, social networking platform where millions of people answer the question “What are you doing?” with short messages. What I’m doing is covering the Burnett trial and I’m posting updates live from the courtroom, including details you won’t necessarily read in the print edition of The Eagle.
Anne Reed, a trial lawyer and jury consultant from Milwaukee has been following my “tweets” and explained it this way in her blog, Deliberations.
You can also follow the updates here on Kansas.com.
You can interact if you sign up (it’s free) and put “@rsylvester” before your message to leave a comment or question. Be patient. Between Twittering and keeping track of the trial, it gets pretty hectic in the courtroom.
